"Work on the farm doesn’t stop for
a pandemic. Agriculture is and always
will be an essential service, and this was
never more evident than in 2020.
As a co-operative, UFA is a proud
advocate for our members, our industry
and our potential for growth."
Kevin Hoppins, Board Chair
Leading. Together.
UFA’s board of 11 directors is proud to
collectively serve in the interest of members
in alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Voices. Represented.
Our 42 delegates live and work in the
communities we serve. They are elected by eligible voting
members to act as their representative voice and,
in turn, elect the Board of Directors.
Industry. Advocated.
In 2020, UFA chaired the Ag Committee reporting to the
Premier of Alberta’s Economic Recovery Council to
ensure essential services remained available,
and the agricultural industry a focus.
Community Projects. Funded.
The Rural Communities Foundation received 150 submissions
for projects that support either recreational or
education events and activities, or cultural facilities and
programs. Of these submissions, four communities
were selected to receive a total of $100,000
in combined funding: Castor, Irvine,
Pincher Creek and Vegreville.
